There is a god, the fate of Sin City 2
is no longer in the hands of the brothers Weinstein!
{sidebar id=1}After years of speculation of what was
going to happen with the highly anticipated sequel, The Weinstein
Company has lost the rights of the follow up to Frank Miller's Sin
City.
The last few years we've heard chatter
about a script that was being written and may well be the case. But,
the good news is, it won't be produced over TWC.
The specifics are not clear but some
details are emerging that the movie will now be financed by a private
equity group and an announcement is expected soon.
Robert Rodriguez' Trouble Maker studios
will still produce the film.
No word on what studio may end up
distributing. Universal Studios' name has come up as a possible
contender.
The original Sin City was not only
groundbreaking but it was also a commercial success. The movie was
made for about $40 million dollars and it raked in over $158 million
in worldwide box office receipts. The DVD also sold millions of
copies.
Recently, the Weinstein Company has
come under scrutiny for mismanaging their films. Most recently,
Crossing Over starring Harrison Ford, Sean Penn, Jim Sturgess, Ashley
Judd and Ray Liotta was dumped at a handful of movie theaters.
Unverified reports that Harvey Weinstein and director Wayne Kramer,
who contractually had final cut of the film, was threatened the movie
would be released straight to DVD if he did not agree to Harvey's cut
of the film.
A similar story has been repeated over and over again
between the Weinstein Brothers and countless filmmakers.
